We present the case of a flight passenger who experienced acute and severe headache during landing. MR imaging was performed because the patient had a history of vascular malformation and revealed an incidental venous angioma. A mass lesion in the frontal sinus, consistent with submucosal hematoma secondary to barotrauma, was thought to be the cause of the headache. To our knowledge, this is the first case of sinus barotrauma described in the radiologic literature and the first to describe the associated MR imaging findings.
我们报告一例飞行乘客在着陆过程中出现急性重度头痛的病例。由于该患者有血管畸形病史，故进行了磁共振成像（MR）检查，结果显示为偶然发现的静脉血管瘤。额窦内的一个肿块病变，符合气压伤继发的黏膜下血肿，被认为是头痛的原因。据我们所知，这是放射学文献中描述的首例鼻窦气压伤病例，也是首例描述其相关MR成像表现的病例。
